In and out of the Alliances, a new evil is on the rise--an evil whose attacks forced the postponement of the Joint Alliances Conclave nearly a year earlier.

During the attacks, some of those who fought the evil reported things that couldn''t be explained--things that were considered myths--until now.

Sorcery. Necromancy. The wielding of power never seen before. The target? Every world, in or out of the Alliances.

The best hope to combat the evil? A blind man, who sees everything.
